Among President Arthur's papers there
is doubtless n note which he once received
from David Davis which amused him
very much. 1t was a brief and formal
letter, hut the peculiar thing about ii
was t'nt Mr.. Davis signed his name 10
close to the last line that nothing could
have been written between the lines
Arthur thought 1t n very unconventional
signature, especially ns ut n hasty glance
1t might he overlooked But he learned
that Judge Davis always signed his name
thus, To prevent any one from filling in
ANYTHING In the customary blank space.
II appeared that when he was u judge in
Illinois a suit was brought before him to
test the validity Of n note. The ostensi-
bic maker admitted that the signature
was his, but swore he never made the
note. md it was developed on trial tint
somu rascal had taken advantage of Il
blank space between the termination Of
a lottcr and the signature to ill In u
notr OF hand, which he got discounted.
The judge. who was II very cautious man,
took a hint from this, and ever Hfterward
signed his W name SO us 10 prevent

OF two cows that differ one gallon
in day in milk production, says the
Farmers Budget, the one that gives
the greatest quantity, reckoning the
milk at cents gallon for 200 days
in a year, represents a capital of 5000
more than the other. The extra
gallon of milk for 200 days is worth
$l6-that is, at per cent, the interest
on 5000. The entire cost of keeping
the COW, if there is any, is more than
made up in the difference in value of
their calves.
A correspondent asks as to the ven
tilation of poultry houses. In the
Winter, in ordinary houses, very little
ventilation is required There are
orifces general sufficient to over
ventilatc and precisely in the wrong
direction-that of through drafts.
The common-sense way is to take
the air of ventilation in at the bottom
floor through tubes with an opening at
the top to carry off impure air. The
tlue at top must carry out the air
so the orifce is in the direction
of the wind and not against it,

A young lady told me of scientific
experiment she has been trying. Her
clearinghouse is very fashionable
and exclusive and excellent one, but
of late the perversities of the butter
have been trying. Butter sometimes
has a way of being peryerse. and this
usually in August, when it should be
the best, just as children are very
likely to appear at their very worst
when they should behave the best.
Now, some one had told this young
lady that if cream were buried in the
earth for twenty-four hours it would
then be found to have become butter
of a superior quality and flavor. She
longed to test the truth of this state
ment, and, confessing her ambition to
Mrs. Daniel Merriman, she was made
a present of a bag of cream from the
Bigelow farm. She told me, with the
minuteness indispensable to the de-
scription of scientific procedures, that
the bag was of white cloth, of strong
and firm material, and that the cream,
of course, being from the Bigelow
farm, was of lovely richness, of the
sort usually described as being ''thick
enough to cut with a knife. She
made the excavation in the ground. of
the necessary size, and deposited her
cream and covered it up. After twen-
ty-four hours she unearthed it and it
was ball of golden, hard, delicious
butter, wanting only salt to make it
perfect. and this she added with her
own fair hands. There were no traces
of buttermilk; it had all been absorbed
through the pores of the cloth into the
earth. 1t is improbable that the young
lady will go on making butter after
this manner, but her method may in
dictate that there is shortly to be a
revolution in the art of butter making.
The new way has to recommend it
great saving of labor, and, one would
say, of care as well. In these wonder
full days it is impossible to prophesy
what great and momentous results
may come from such happening as
